At Charnley House care home in Hyde, we believe in creating joyful and memorable experiences for our residents. This past month has been full of exciting activities, each designed to bring smiles, spark memories, and enhance wellbeing. Here’s a look at what our residents have been up to recently:
A Scenic Boat Trip on the Local Barge
One of our most beloved annual traditions, our residents set sail on a relaxing barge trip along the local waterways. The scenic views, fresh air, and gentle sway of the boat provided a peaceful escape, with plenty of opportunity for conversation and laughter, and, of course, the obligatory ice cream. This outing always brings a sense of adventure and calm, and it’s become a highlight for both residents and staff alike.
Reminiscence Morning
We had a heartwarming morning where a family member joined us to share treasured items and documents from yesteryear. Residents enjoyed the sensory experience of touching and smelling these nostalgic pieces, which brought back cherished memories. As we explored the past together, we also listened to music that brought some of our residents to their feet for a little impromptu dancing. It was a beautiful way to connect through shared history and music.
Elvis Was in the House!
Elvis made an unforgettable appearance at Charnley House, and our residents had an absolute blast! The King of Rock and Roll had everyone up and dancing, singing along to classic hits, and reliving the golden era of music. The energy in the room was electric, and the smiles on our residents’ faces said it all—this was an afternoon to remember!
Debbie’s Holistic Therapy
This month, we welcomed Debbie for a soothing group session of holistic therapy. With her calming music setting the tone, our residents enjoyed a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Debbie’s gentle approach helped everyone unwind and feel more centred, and it was so well-received that our residents are already asking for her next visit.
One-on-One Holistic Healing with Debbie
In addition to her group session, Debbie also spent some quality one-on-one time with one of our residents, offering personalised holistic healing. The resident truly appreciated the focused attention, and it provided a calming and nurturing experience that left them feeling peaceful and cared for.
At Charnley House, we are always looking for ways to enrich the lives of our residents, and this past month has been full of joy, connection, and relaxation. From the excitement of Elvis to the serenity of holistic healing, we’re proud to offer a variety of activities that cater to the diverse interests and needs of our community.
Stay tuned for more updates, and we look forward to sharing even more exciting moments in the coming months!
